    The pain you felt in your stomach was due to the acid build up in your stomach that is used to digest your food. Because there was no food in your stomach, the acid starts working on your stomach lining!

    The pain in your chest is most likely 'heartburn'. Take an antacid such as cheweez or an alkazalsa to neutralise the acid so it doesn't 'burn'.

    Heartburn or pyrosis is a painful or burning sensation in the esophagus, just below the breastbone usually associated with regurgitation of gastric acid.[1] The pain often rises in the chest and may radiate to the neck, throat, or angle of the jaw. Heartburn is also identified as one of the causes of chronic cough, and may even mimic asthma. Despite its name, heartburn actually has nothing to do with the heart. It is so called because of a burning sensation of the breastbone where the heart is located although some heart problems do have a similar sensation to heartburn. Compounding the confusion is the fact that hydrochloric acid from the stomach comes back up the esophagus because of a problem with the cardiac sphincter, a valve which misleadingly contains the word "cardiac", referring to the cardia as part of the stomach and not, as might be thought, to the heart.

    You have got to recover from the anti healthcare professional additude and cross see one. Call a important care healthcare professional and feature a bodily. Tell them you're have chest discomfort. They gets you an appointment that day normally should you inform them you're having chest discomfort. Don't reduce your criticism should you desire to be visible ASAP. I honestly have a query published now that can be what is occurring to you. Especially if you're tall and skinny. I aroused from sleep March twentieth with chest discomfort. It is worse whilst I take a deep breath. I have a spontaneous pneumothorax or collapsed lung and congenital blebs on my lung. It is distinguished but it surely would be lifestyles threatening. You cannot fiddle with chest discomfort. Good success and handle your self.
